Question

what's actually on the business and law part of the EC exam

4 years doing service and panel swaps out of little falls. not taking the EC exam tomorrow, i know i need my experience squared away first, but i want to start on the business and law side now since that's the part nobody at my shop can tell me anything about. my boss took his like 20 years ago and says "it's common sense, don't worry about it." idk, that's what people said about every test i ever failed. what's on it? nj law stuff like contracts and liens, or general business? open book? anyone take it recently

Question

new shop wants me on a 1099 with my own van. red flag or normal

4 years in, service and panel swaps. got an offer from a shop in wayne, more per hour than i make now, but they want me as a 1099 'independent contractor' and i'd use my own van, my own tools, my own gas. i'd still be on their schedule, in their shirt, running their calls. idk if that's normal or a way to skip paying for stuff. anyone done 1099 in the trades in nj?
